Zusammenfassung:A fiber optic cable assembly comprises first and second cable legs each including a tight buffer surrounding coated optical fibers, and a reduced thickness buffer connecting region, with cable leg being devoid of any surrounding jacket and any tensile strength member. A fiber optic cable assembly devoid of a tensile strength member mechanically coupled to a connector comprises a travel limiting feature that serves to limit travel of the ferrule and inhibit ferrule decoupling when tension is applied to a fiber optic cable.
